Analyzing social networks with D-miner Cloud

The Online Social Network (OSN) sites have been getting more and more popular in recent years and there are interests of having a tool to automatically retrieve and analyze the information in order to understand their related social behavior. This paper presents a framework of D-miner Cloud (DMC) based on a cloud architecture which can provide collection of the information from heterogeneous OSN sites, managing and analyzing the collected information afterwards. It has 5 components consisting of frontend devices, service gateway, service unit, central repository and OSN sites. We present the approach to implement the framework, integrate DMC and the Application Program Interfaces (API) of OSN sites, organize the communications in DMC framework and implement the mobile frontend design.
